Wow, so imagine my surprise when I got a call from the Utah’s Best of State Organization letting me know that Freebies2Deals had been chosen as the Best of State Business Innovation Winner for 2011!!!
I was blown away. They were amazed by all the things that Freebies2Deals has been able to offer people here in Utah and all over the Country. AND- they LOVED the Freebies2Deals Secret Santa Video, YOUR contributions and how everyone came together to really make a difference in our communities.
All of the Freebies2Deals readers have been so incredible spreading the word about F2D, answering comments for newbie couponers, and just spreading the coupon/deal and freebie cheer! So because of that and all of your wonderful support of Freebies2Deals over the past 18 months…
This Best of State Award goes to every single one of you!! Congrats!!
(I even said that in my acceptance speech- which was totally nerve-wrecking!!)
